Release Notes---------------------


This dramatised documentary series tells the story of the rise and fall of 


Ancient Rome through the six key turning points. Factually accurate and based on extensive historical research, it reveals how the greed, lust and ambition of men like Caesar, Nero and Constantine shaped the Roman Empire. It describes how Rome destroyed Carthage, was conquered by Caesar, how it suppressed the Jewish revolt, and converted to Christianity. CGI is mixed with compelling drama and spectacular live-action battles to tell the definitive television story of how the Empire was formed, how it achieved maximum power, and why it eventually failed.














Episode 1: Caesar





This programme focuses on the most famous Roman of all - Caesar. Charming, 


savage, power-crazed, opportunistic and brilliant, he overthrew a 500-year-old 


Republic and began the age of the emperors.














Episode 2: Nero





This programme focuses on Nero, charting his obsession with becoming a god, how 


his plans to turn Rome into a glorious city bankrupted the Empire, how he 


married his slaveboy and killed his beloved wife in a frenzy, and how he was 


finally overthrown.














Episode 3: Rebellion





This episode tells the story of the Jewish Revolt, which swept through Judea in 


AD 66 and threatened to destabilise the whole empire. Rome turned to the 


disgraced General Vespasian and his son Titus to put it down. Filled with 


spectacular sieges and huge set-piece action, the film pits the discipline and 


ingenuity of the Roman army against the passion and commitment of the rebels.














Episode 4: Revolution





Rome was once a largely democratic society, with regular elections. This 


Republic lasted for 500 years, but then came Tiberius Gracchus. He believed in 


the ideals of the Republic - fairness, decency and justice for everyone - but was appalled by Rome's aristocrats' treatment of the poor. So he unleashed the power of the mob upon the streets of Rome, with devastating consequences.














Episode 5: Constantine





This episode tells the story of how the Emperor Constantine brought Christianity to the western world. In AD 312, Rome was in crisis. The empire had been divided into four parts, each with its own emperor who fought one another. Constantine intervened and united Rome, using military might and a new religion - Christianity.














Episode 6: The Fall of Rome





In AD 410, the Goth hordes sacked the city. This event symbolised Rome's 


collapse. Within 70 years, the western empire - what we think of as Ancient Rome - was abandoned. But it should never have happened at all.
